Two people hurt in 3-vehicle crash

Sunday

ROCHESTER — A Dover man must appear in court after his dump truck caused a three-vehicle accident that sent two people to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries Saturday morning, police said.

Police issued a summons to Daniel Ayer, 38, of Dover, for negligent driving.

He was driving a truck owned by D.E. Ayer Industrial Service and Supply of Dover southbound along Estes Road when he allegedly became temporarily distracted as he approached Washington Street — Route 202, police said.

Although he tried to stop the truck at the last minute, it struck a westbound Chevrolet pickup, driven by Richard French, 62, of Rochester, which spun into an eastbound Toyota pickup, driven by Louis Henry, 38, of Barrington, around 10:53 a.m., police said.

Traffic was detoured around the intersection, which remained closed until about 12:22 p.m.

Henry and a female passenger in the Chevrolet were taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital by Frisbie ambulance crews for non life-threatening injuries, police said.

Ayers is due in Rochester District Court on July 21.
